Description

Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft. We have been flying real missions with real customers since 2017.

Our V2 carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles and our V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000 miles with 20+ hours of endurance. Both use a dual-hybrid design that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane. We are currently flying on three continents, in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight, and in support of U.S. military operations.

Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we are moving from prototype to full-rate production with a path to Program of Record. Based in Austin, we are scaling fast and hiring people who want to build the world's largest fleet of autonomous logistics aircraft.

If you're excited about Skyways and think you can help, send us your resume, portfolio, or even a quick note telling us what you'd want to work on. We read every submission.

Company

Skyways designs fully autonomous, long-range cargo aircraft for industrial logistics. Since 2017, Skyways has deployed an autonomous fleet with customers today, enabling routes that were previously blocked and delivering critical parts to remote or high-risk locations. The V2 is the current workhorse, offering up to 450 miles of range, a 30‑lb payload, 1 ft³ cargo volume, and about 8 hours of endurance, powered by JP-5 or Jet A-1. The V3 is the next generation, in testing and designed to replace V2, with 1000+ miles range, a 100‑lb payload, 7 ft³ cargo volume, and up to 20 hours of endurance.
